Graphic 45, Manor House Creations and Dusty Attic - A match made in heaven

I am so lucky to be on the Design team for these 3 wonderful companies. The beautiful Manor House flowers really are the perfect match for Graphic 45 paper collections. For every range of G45 papers I've ever worked with, there has been a flower, or flowers which match the colours perfectly. And then there's the stunning Dusty Attic chippies, that go well with anything.

This is a layout of me, when I was at kindergarten ( I was a funny looking kid hey lol) Don't look at the date, cos then you will see how old I am, arrgghh. I've used my favourite Graphic 45 collection of all time here, Secret garden, but, I can see that the next release of papers, due out in November is going to give it a run for its money. Its called 'Sweet sentiment's' and, OMG, is it beautiful..

The little banner was made using a gorgeous new die I got. Its a

My favourite things' die, and I just love it

I'm also proud to say that I was the featured artist over at Paper Crafters Library a few weeks ago, and this LO was displayed there too :)

I have used a brick mask here, and have inked the area before masking, using Tim Holtz distress ink, so as the white texture paste shows up a little better.

OK, just a quickie today. I have a Christmas Bon Bon tutorial to share with you all tomorrow, so would love you to call back then... Have a wonderful weekend everyone xx
